Make layout more visible in layout L

In schematic, you can change background, color or bold of wires or devices to make circuits easier to read or put it for presentation. 
Is there a similar feature for layout L?
With default coloring like this, it's almost invisible when you put it in PowerPoint.
Honestly I just do it for PowerPoint purpose only so it would be great if you have some idea for this.

    You can change the background color of new windows using Options->User Preferences in the CIW. You can change the colors of every other layer using Tools->Display Resource Manager in the CIW. You could save a setup specifically for documentation and re-load it when you need it.
